The AI Cyber Inflection: A C-Suite Operating Mandate for the Mythos Era
Three Board decisions. Nine front lines. One operating system for cyber defense.
Frontier AI has rewritten the economics of cyberattack. Defense has not caught up.
The economics of attack collapsed. The economics of defense did not. That is the inflection.
Mythos-class models now autonomously chain critical vulnerabilities into working exploits in hours, at under $20K per attack chain. Human-led remediation cannot match that cadence. Defense now requires an operating model where AI runs detection and response, the CISO holds sovereign authority, and the Board decides at exposure speed.
Our CISO and CIO Operating Model
Sia's readiness playbook designed for Boards, CIOs and CISOs maps the Frontier AI cyber threats across 9 front lines, from technical exposure to board-level decision authority.
For each execution domain, our playbook provides impact assessment, prioritized action plan, and accelerator beyond conventional approach. Actionable from day one.
What you will find in the full playbook:
What frontier AI just changed about cyber economics?
Five empirical shifts that prove the inflection.
Nine execution domains for AI-era cyber defense.
Three board decisions that unlock the model.
Thirty days to executive control.
Seven services that turn the playbook into reality.
Crisis Companion, the AI crisis layer that empowers the engagement.
